Andrea and Allison of team RDDW are terrific! It's not just that they're fun and easy to work with, but they really take the time to listen well and they're respectful of budget constraints. Choosing a paint color for the outside of your house feels like a huge commitment, and so easy to get it wrong, especially if you want to do something a little unusual. This design team worked patiently with me and the painting contractor to test samples and help me re-think the accent color when the project was nearly done and we realized the original accent choice was too dark. In the end, I have a three-color scheme that makes me smile every time I pull into the driveway at the end of the day. On various consults and projects inside my home, Andrea and Allison have steered me towards the fresh and innovative -- they have a unique gift for working with existing furnishings and fixtures and adding something to bring it current. This is an impressively neat trick in rooms like mine which are full of antique furniture and family memorabilia. I love antiques and dark wood, but thanks to the inspired interventions of RDDW, our living spaces have been rescued from the brink of looking like granny's parlor!
Description of Work: Color consult for exterior paint job; interior staging and room re-design.

I absolutely love my house. I walk downstairs every morning and I love everything. Allison and Andrea got to know me and my style. They selected a color pallate and furnishings that worked with our existing decor. They also introduced updates and made me very comfortable taking decorating "risks". The only easy thing about this renovation was working with Red Door. I don't regret a single thing we picked out! I can't imagine going through a project like this without the help of these women. Renovations are overwhelming but they made the endless decorating decisions easy.
Description of Work: Red Door DesignWork's Allison and Andrea came up with a style plan for my house renovation. They advised me on everything from kitchen cabinets, tile, fixtures, flooring, paint colors to furnishings. They understood that I was trying to blend an old house with a new addition and gave me style advice on how to blend everything. We frequently met at the house, sometimes a paint store or furniture store. Our meetings were always super productive and fun. I always came away feeling confident in the direction we were heading.
